6. Apollo Crews Thought His Main Roster Call-Up Was A Joke By WWE Officials
During a recent interview with The State Journal-Register, WWE Superstar Apollo Crews talked about making his main roster debut in WWE, his goals & more. Below are the highlights:
How satisfying/surprising was your call-up to WWE on April 4, after a relatively short stint in NXT?
“I didn’t find out (it was happening) until the Friday before that. … It was April Fools’ (Day). I thought it was a joke. But when it really hit me and I realized what was going on I just started breaking down crying tears of happiness. It was cool for me because I don’t remember the last time I shed a tear of any kind of emotion. So it was cool just to see my dreams come true. … It’s the most satisfying feeling ever.”
You’re early in your WWE career. What are your goals at this point?
“I’d love to hold (championship) gold here. I definitely see myself holding multiple titles in my career. As far as short-term goals, I think just being on TV on a weekly basis is amazing. Eventually, hopefully, I can show people more of my character and let them know who I really am as a person. At the end of the day, I just want to make history here. It’s tough to say that because there’s so much history that has been made, but if I can be a part of that, that’s an honor in itself.”
